the alleged Democracy they represent.
In the language Of the eloquent Bailey,
those Democrats "neither fear their ex-
communication nor beg their absolution."
When the Democratic convention meets
next year the prohibition Democrats will
be there, and don't you forget it; they
will participate, and don't you forget
that. II that convention shall declare
that prohibition is un-Democrstic, they
will bow to its dictum AMI
obey its commsnd, and tney will
return nome, acknowledging the error
of their judgement and ready to
help elect the nominees Of the party and
advance its principles. The Register does
not believe, however, that The convention
will so declare. It believes that g major

pOsT-ELECTIoN ADVICE.


New Orleans Picayune Dem The
growth of the prohibition sentiment in
Texas within the last year or two has
been generally regarded as phenomenally
rapid, and many, no doubt, will be sur
prised at the extent OF the anti-prOhibi-
ton majority. The state has been
thoroughly C2nvassed by able and popu-
lar orators, and we have no reason 10
doubt that the relative strength of the
two sides has been thoroughly tested.
1t must De remembered, however,
that this contest has been some
thing more than g struggle for and
against the sale Of liquor. Many aTdLnt
Democrats have entertained grave ap-
prehension that the success OF lie Pro-
hibitionists would lead to serious divis-
ion OF the Democratic party, AMI they
have felt that it was extremely important
to prevent disaster of that sort. But,
whatever may be the decisive reasons, it
seems clear that the Prohibi-
ZIONIST movement has been
prematurely attempted il Texas.
The advocates of prohibition would have
been more polite, perhaps, had they con-
tented themselves with the local option
law, by means of which they mad already
captured number of counties, and which
would have enabled them to advance
their cause by surer il slower steps. We
suppose that they will now return to thst
policy; but, in any case. we may De sure
that they have no intention Of giving up
the fRht.

st. Louis Gobe-Democrat Rep: In
1884 the prohibition vote in Texas WIS
1884, and in 1856 it was 10, 136. The big
demonstration which that party has Just
made will lead most persons TO expect
that its vote in 1888 will exceed 80, O00 or
$1,000. AS most Of these votes will
come from the Democratic party, our
Bourbon friends will not look upon this
movement with such equ&nimity next
year as they did three years ago, when it
was confined to Republican states and re
duced the Republican strength.

ST. Louis Republican DEM: The de
feat of prohibition in Texas was not IN
expected, though there was no general
anticipation that the majority would be
so pronounced. For years the prohibition
idea has been disturbing element in the
politics of Texas. There mas not been g

the Prohibitionists have not been on hand

Legislature was induced TO submit the
question to the arbitrsment of the peO-

Austin Dispatch PRO: If people want to he
Democrats, they must be Democrats; Il they
want 10 he PrOhhitionists, let them be Prohi-
bitionists. They cannot be both, or pretend to
he beth hereafter IN Texas.
If to affiliate with Democracy, enc must
iRdorse the liquor traffic, the Dispatch,
after a life long devotion to its principles:
after g partisan tealty that has never
wavered in the darkest hours of the
party's history; after sn unbroken allegi-
ance that boasts blind obedience TO
party nominations, save il one Isolated
local instance; after 8 consistent and
JEALOUS following for nearly g quarter
of century; after alI this, the Dispatch
repeats, if whisky Is to constitute the
cornerstone OF Democracy in Texas, the
Dispatch withdraws its allegiance, and
places its trust in the Democracy OF the
nation to vindiCate its action.
II the Democratic party of Texas must
bhndly bow TO the cohorts of the whisky
element, the Dispatch is no longer an sCh
vcc&te OF Democracy.
If our social and political super5truc-
ture is to be based upon whisky snd
Democratic supremacy, the Dispatch is
no longer Democratic journal.
But the Dispatch has hope in the ulti-
mate triumph OF Democratic principles
based upon the cardinal triune OF virtue,
Intelligence and sobriety. 1t refuses to
accept the dictum of the organ of the
whisky leaders, and confidently relies
upon the honest, moral, conservative ele-
ment of the party to scourge from the
leadership those who would seek to place
them before the country in the disgrace
full attitude of endorsing crime and crimi-
nails.
The Dispatch is an anti-whisky journal,
let come wnat will.
II g majority, then, can be found in the
Democratic party who will contend that
whisky is necessary to its perpetuity,
the Dispatch will relieve them Of the
embarrassment of issuing 8 bull of ex-
communication so far ss it is concerned
because it hereby gives formal and public
notice of withdrawal.
